SpecializationMathematics education

James Morrow is codirector of SummerMath, a nationally acclaimed four-week program for young women in the ninth through twelfth grades. The program seeks to increase the participation of women and minorities in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology.

A frequent presenter at conferences and workshops, in June of 1999 Morrow presented his research at the First Interdisciplinary Conference of the International Society of the Arts, Mathematics, and Architecture, which was held in San Sebastien, Spain, at the University of the Basque Country.

Morrow teaches Explorations in Geometry and Learning and Reflecting on Mathematics.

"I hear many people describe mathematics as cut, dried, and lifeless. I try to counter such a perception by instilling in my students the idea that there is an unending list of fascinating mathematical questions 'out there,' never thought of before, and waiting to be asked—and, if they have a sense of curiosity and a spirit of adventure, they can create those questions."
